Regarding crafting professions, if someone wants to increase their active professions from 2 to 4, one can purchase 2x Additional crafting license at 800 gems a pop.

If you rather have 2, or not pay the gem cost, you can switch professions from an active to inactive state and level up whichever you choose. However to reactivate an inactive profession you have to pay in game currency depending on the level of the inactive to active profession.

As per wiki:

QuoteTo learn a craft, speak to the relevant master craftsman; they also answer basic questions and sell supplies for their craft. A character can only have two disciplines active at a time, or up to four with the purchase of Additional Crafting Licenses. They can pay a master craftsman to switch, at cost of 10 per level already attained in the target discipline. Taking on a new discipline is always free, while switching back to a maxed discipline (at level 500) costs 50 .

Quote from: smilodon;404170As one of those sad acts that loves to go exploring every little nook and cranny of an MMO's world I love the fact that you can go and explore all the regions that belong to the other four races and complete all their quests. As soon as you enter a newbie area you're level gets reduced down to make the mobs there worthy of battle. This is why as a Lv 21 player I was recently killed by a level seven frog. Makes the entire Guild Wars world fun to explore. Also makes being a chef a lot less of a grind as well.

This is one of the few MMO's where 100% exploration is truely wonderful as they have put some stunning scenery into the game.

It's also needed to craft legendary stuff, as 100% explored gives 2 gifts of exploration.

Hahahaha.

When I first played, what, 3 years ago now? The price of a precursor needed for Legendary was 100g. Today it is 1000g. This is Spark of Rage - I main thief. So really, I need two of them suckers!
I've not checked, too much, but earning that much gold can only be done by playing the trading post very well or spending real money on gems and converting to gold.

Yep, blame all the damned gold farmers there used to be running around.

They are probably still there too. You need around 4k gold to buy a leg now.

I'm back, and should be playing some tomorrow.

In the meantime, the GW2 news section has some fine information on the changes coming soon with HoT which is releasing on the 23rd. Economy, drops, and even alternate paths to acquiring precursors and legendaries instead of paying stupid sums of gold.

The 23rd is also the start date of the Mad King's event - Halloween.

I never managed to complete the Mad Kings clock tower last year, that jumping puzzle was a nightmare.. migth have to give it a go again this time.

Gorion · October 20, 2015, 02:19:59 PM

Yep, it's very hard especially with all the people jumping around.

Timing is the key, and a certain amount of luck when jumping in some spots.

There was a massive update two days ago. The game has improved quite a bit in multiple facets.

In addition, all HoT current and future were given a free shared slot, with a max level boost item which can be tested on multiple characters before applying the permanent level up boost.

Patch notes - A very long read.
